2 grands just for sex is ridiculously stupid. I could spend that amount of money on a high-class "escort" so I could bitch about my life for a few hours right after I disappoint her with the longest 2 minutes of her life.

Actually, you guys are my friends, right? Mind ponying up some money so I could hire a prostitute listen to me whine?

I always look at my pump and think, "eventually, I'm gonna look like this all the time." I sometimes feel like I'm having a bad dream, running through an endless hallway, but for some reason I can't stop.

Fighting sports could be really unpredictable sometimes. Someone could dominate the entire match, then get knocked out with a single lucky punch. It happens pretty often, especially among aggressive fighters.

It's a real concept, no one said it wasn't. Objective? Doubt it, as it's entirely relative to culture. And even within the same culture, people still have a hard time agreeing on practically everything.

Without going too deep into philosophy, we can't say there's an "objectively right" as righteousness is based off a subjective concept called 'morality'. What's 'right' only depends on the majority believing that it is so.

I'm on my second playthrough, and I somehow always end up with Cassandra despite having "Cassandra disapproves" pop up way too often. I probably have a subconscious thing for these fuzzy-on-the-inside dominatrix types.

Oh boy... that's a can of worms, right there. You have to understand that those child soldiers have had a completely different upbringing from you and me. As in, those kids were 'brainwashed' to enjoy doing what they do. "Fighting wars" is a bit misleading considering the war they're fighting is more akin to a war between an egg and a rock; they're mostly 'fighting' unarmed, defenseless civilians. Which brings me back to why I use the term 'brainwashed' loosely. Those children were brainwashed, no doubt, but they're also in positions of authority at a very young age. They see what they want, they take it and hardly anyone can oppose the threat of having a bullet between the eyes. And this feeling of power is what keeps them there even beyond adulthood. It's a whole clusterfuck, that's for sure, but it's a clusterfuck that they enjoy. They don't want your pity, nor do they think they're living a life to be pitied.

Don't get me wrong, despite my use of the word 'pettier,' it shouldn't be confused with 'petty'. Their situation is only pettier relative to watching your friends and family get devoured by 8 meter tall humanoid monsters.
